What can I say - bloody UNINSURED ute drivers !

Driving home tonight, minding my own business, when just about two street from home, a Navara ute runs in to the back of blacky!!!! I could see the lights coming and just braced myself for the impact.

Stuffed
1 x Aero rear bar - absolutely cracked it

Maybe Stuffed
1 x JCW muffler
1 x bootlid
Suspension

I drove it home - made no apparent noises - but I was so ****in angry I couldn't cry. I NEVER EVER drive blacky to work, as I have to leave it in a shopping centre car park, but the last two days I just felt like a whirl.

Pics to come when I am not so angry *takes a sip of alcoholic beverage*

Bah

Uninsured drivers are the curse of the modern world

I hope the damage isn't as bad as first feared - but more importantly, are YOU okay?

-blacky- · Apr 10th, 2008, 12:07 PM

I am fine - great even. I think that since a knew it was coming I braced myself.

Bloody great little cars though - you wouldn't even think a 4x4 ute hit it.

I am trying to put a positive spin on it like
"I needed to get new stripes on the boot" or " I need to get the bumper resprayed"
Just maybe the front bumper might get done as well

85NIXMIN · Apr 10th, 2008, 07:32 PM

Awww that sucks... I don't get why there is sooo many ppl driving on the roads without insurance!!!

Sucks...

Mike Clarke · Apr 11th, 2008, 12:22 AM

sorry to hear that Karen

, glad you are OK though

drivers of uninsured vehicles should be transported to Iraq

-blacky- · Apr 11th, 2008, 09:23 AM

Definately Mike - either that or nigeria, so they can help with the money scams

MickyD · Apr 11th, 2008, 10:59 AM

very sorry to hear the bad news Karen
hope Blacky recovers soon

Hey Karen, sorry to hear about your accident. The wet weather seems to have brought all of the idiots out to play lately. The people across the road had the front end of their black pug completely squished by some fool in a ute who lost it down near the river and fishtailed all the way up the hill into our street tonight.

Hope you have recovered and were able to enjoy your weekend. You gonna make with the pics or what?

brett · Apr 22nd, 2008, 01:01 PM

But doesn;t the insurance company take the uninsured driver to court to recover their costs???

MrsChilliRedS · May 1st, 2008, 08:37 AM

I know i am late but i am glad you are OK.

Take care

Love

Kell

2bob · May 1st, 2008, 01:08 PM

Hope you can get your insurance company to sue the BAST----

-blacky- · May 2nd, 2008, 10:39 AM

Well....

Got a message from the panel beaters earlier this week, and just as suspected the bar is coming from motherland - and will take 3 to 4 weeks.

I told you all im cursed!!

I know how that feels.

-blacky- · May 3rd, 2008, 02:14 AM

Whilst giving my dads navara, ABY the super ute and blacky oil changes - Dad decided to "white out" the scratches on the stripes

Actually from a distance, it looks good. But step up about 3 metres away and you can still see the damage.

Worst rear end damage everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrr
